- I don't know.

- But I will show you what to do.

First, you have a beautiful woman

in your arms.

You hold her tenderly.

Oh, she's gorgeous and she's all yours.

- She is?

- Oh, yes.

- Would you mind if I held her for a while?

- Of course. Here, you take her.

You know, she's heavier than I thought.

Now, you must say to her:

- Why do I have to speak Spanish?

- Because it's a language of love.

- Women can't resist it.

- They can't?

Now, hold her tight.

No, tighter. Still tighter. Tighter.

- She's kind of big.

- All right, kiss her.

No, not like a baby, like a man.

Oh, amigo, I like you.

And you have made my arm

as good as new. Well, hasta la vista.

Oh, in your language,

that means "adis, amigo."

Gee, he sure looks romantic

in that Groucho costume.

Gosh, anybody could get a girl

if he looked like that.

What a guy.

Senor O'Rourke.

Speak to me, say something.

Oh, gee, he's unconscious.

What'll I do now?

Oh, no, I gotta give him a chance

to defend himself.

Oh, Senor O'Rourke, I didn't know

you were behind that door, honest.

I wouldn't hurt a polo player for anything,

especially a South American polo player.

My name is Betty Barrett.

I hope you don't think I'm bold

for breaking in like this.

Gee, you're handsome.

Do you think I'm pretty?

You don't have to answer that now.

I live at the Savoy Apartments

and if you're ever in the neighborhood...

...you might drop in sometime. Tonight.

Oh, Senor O'Rourke!

- Is this all right, Miss Betty?

- Oh, yes, but they like it hot.

There, that's better.

Are you sure my sister's

not gonna be home this evening?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- Oh, I sure hope so.

No, I guess it'd be too obvious

if I sat on his lap.

- Will there be anything else, Miss Betty?

- I wish to be alone tonight, Matilda.

You may go.

Come in.

- Oh, Jose, what a surprise!

- I am delightful.

What a beautiful...

It's an old native custom.

Won't you sit down?

Oh, I do not understand so good

your language.

Well, sit down in your own language.

Merci, mademoiselle.

You understand Spanish good? Good.

Spanish is the beautiful language of love.

You speak it very fluently, don't you?

Tijuana.

Well, I wanna if you wanna.

My hors d'oeuvres. I prepared

some of our native dishes for you.

Oh, I am delightful.

My beautiful... Sacramento, California.

- Well, don't go away, Jose. "Babalu."

- "Tico-Tico."

Well, if Spanish does it,

this ought to do it.

I made these just for you.

Oh, I am delightful. You made...

This thing,

I've lost so much weight, you know.

I made these

with my own two little hands.

Oh, your little hands.

They are so... So... So so-so.

Gee, just like in the ads.

You are so gentle, so beautiful, so...
